THE HAMMACHER SCHLEMMER INSTITUTE ANNOUNCES THE BEST CORKSCREW.
New York, NY, October 1st, 2009 - Hammacher Schlemmer announces the selection of The Best Corkscrew a lever-style corkscrew chosen over other models in tests by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute for its quick, easy cork extraction, worm insertion, and features.
Unlike traditional pulltap, double-hinged corkscrews that require a skilled hand to insert the worm into the center of the cork, twist down the worm, and remove the cork in one piece, lever-style corkscrews ensure perfect, effortless cork extraction with a simple pull of the lever.
The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute conducts systematic testing of leading products, often working in concert with experts, independent laboratories, or consumer panels to analyze results and determine which products are "The Best."
The staff of a winery was commissioned to test the corkscrews, and The Best Corkscrew consistently extracted corks in one piece, unlike lesser models that caused corks to crumble into the wine.
The Best Corkscrew simply latches onto the neck of a wine bottle and plunges the worm squarely into the center of the cork with the push of a lever, reducing the chances of human error. Lifting the lever quickly removes the cork, leading panelists to describe this process as "very easy" and requiring "very little effort," unlike other models that demanded a "good amount of force."
"The expert panel lauded The Best Corkscrew for its lightweight yet durable metal construction and its Teflon worm that glides easily into and out of traditional and synthetic corks, unlike other models that required multiple attempts to remove corks from the worm," stated Tara-Ann Dugan, Product Research Manager.
The Best Corkscrew can be engraved with up to three characters, it comes with a foil cutter, and stores in a leather-covered box. The Best Corkscrew is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $129.95. For more information, please visit www.hammacher.com or call 1-800-543-3366.
